How to use Yahoo Mail (Free) with Thunderbird 3.1.9 (Updated)

Here's an update for how to use your Yahoo! Mail account (free) with Thunderbird. As of March 30th, the WebMail add-on started to get a "negative vibes" error. I've found an alternative method to access your mail and work straight out of Thunderbird using its IMAP feature.

Final IMAP Settings:

Incoming: imap.mail.yahoo.com on Port 993 with SSL Encryption (you may disable encryption if you wish)

Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com on Port 465 with SSL Encryption (you may disable encryption if you wish)

Latest Thunderbird:http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/

I use Camtasia with Pan-n-Zoom and 720p settings as an MOV file.

Thank you for providing this update. I'd been attempting to setup an account to link that of a Yahoo! account under a Thunderbird client for someone (with quite a few challenges) for a few hours - your update posed the solution.

@basaran76 Make sure your user name ends with @yahoo.com, its located below incoming and outgoing for the newer versions.
